I purchased the original app under the old developer Bonnier Digital. I was satisfied with the app, however, my subscription didn't transfer to the new app under the current developer. I was just one issue into my automatic renewal before the transfer occurred, and it took me a couple of months to notice that the app transfer has taken place. When I went to request a refund from Bonnier and Apple, neither couple help me, so I basically paid a full year's subscription fee for a single issue. I didn't think this type of thing could occur, but the lesson has been learned. I will strongly consider letting my other magazine digital subscriptions expire, and I don't think I will be renewing any more magazine subscriptions through the App Store.

So with touch screen/hand gesture input as well as the super high-clarity of Retina display, I'd expect a little more from this magazine app. Every magazine app out there should model their functionality after Macworld's magazine app. In the Macworld app: Text is appropriately sized so you don't have to adjust/zoom; use of a scrolling screen with multiple layers is great; interactivity with clickable page parts makes it more than just a digital form of a printed magazine. This is what I want from Home Theater! Great articles; outstanding insight and reviews, just need the app to catch up to the competition. iOS is extremely powerful... use it! Hope you developers/writers are listening!

This latest update will wipe out all your previously downloaded issues so you will need to download them again. This update also removes the very useful feature where you can jump to any article from the magazine's preview or contents page. Touching the article on that page now does nothing. You will have to open a separate contents list and then scroll down to that item. What used to take just one step now takes several steps. I know it is nor easy making an app. The original app was great! We just ask that you at least don't create an update make things worse for your customers.

The digital version is great, although I subscribe to both versions I.e. printer & digital. There are times when I'm looking for the review of a product I read in the printed version months ago. I went to the digital format to search for the review of that product. I had to down load multiple months & look in each table on contents. An article review search would be Wonderful!!!

Not sure why others are having problems. This app works great! I like the part that when I want to go to a referred web site, I just tap and it takes me there. I use Apple product. Not sure how Microsoft products work with this. Believe me I have been thru some crappy apps. This one works great.
